► JavaBeans may be visible or nonvisible at runtime.For

example, the visual GUI component may be a button,list

box,graphic or a chart.

An EJB is a nonvisual ,remote object.

► JavaBeans are intended to be local to a single process

and are primarly intended to run on the client side.Although

one can develop server-side JavaBeans,it is far easier to

develop them using the EJB specification instead.

EJB's are remotely executable components or business

objects that can be deployed only on the server.

► JavaBeans is a component technology to create generic

Java components that can be composed together into applets

and applications.

Even though EJB is a component technology,it neither

builds upon nor extends the original JavaBean specification.

► JavaBeans have an external interface called the properties

interface, which allows a builder tool to interpret the

functionality of the bean.

EJBs have a dployement descriptor that describes its

functionality to an external builder tool or IDE

► JavaBeans may have BeanInfo classes,property editors or

customizers
